Gainesville — Cooke County resident Alex Cord, renowned
actor and writer, has a new book out entitled “Days of the Harbinger” which is
receiving five star ratings from those who have been first in line to get a
copy.

The premise of the book is “can one man change the way
the entire world thinks?” where the main character, jaded movie star Johnny
Grant, becomes increasingly discontented with man’s inhumanity to man and
begins to be convinced the human race is headed for self-destruction.
Frustrated and depressed by his inability to affect changes needed for
improvement, Grant hungers for the ultimate power to make a difference despite
controlling corruption in government, greed and selfishness in the world.

In his story Cord’s character Grant, on film location in
Australia, explicably vanishes. A worldwide frenzy erupts after his
disappearance. After being gone for three days, Grant returns with a fantastic
explanation for where he has been.

Grant’s story, lack of evidences of where he has been and
search for the truth explodes into worldwide controversy.

“Days of the Harbinger” is the third book written by Cord
whose previous novels “Sandsong” published by Warner Books and “A Feather in
the Rain” published by Five Star Publications achieved much success and wide
acclaim with talks of a future movie on the horizon.

Cord first came on the scene during the 60’s where his
avid interest in acting and training at the Actors Studio began his
professional career in summer stock theater.

One of his more iconic roles was the mysterious eye
patched Michael Archangel in the 80’s series “Airwolf.”

Cord said the idea for his latest book had been on his
mind for 15 years. The difficulty was in deciding how to write it. Then a
couple of years ago, the solution to the book came knocking and he then knew
how it should be constructed. He has spent the last two years working on the
plot, developing the characters and honing his craft until it was beautifully
edited and published this year.

Although he majored in English literature, Cord credits
the masters of literature as his greatest teachers.

He said, “I have read all of Steinbeck, Shakespeare,
Hemingway and Faulkner as well as other great new writers and you will find
that as I read I highlight passages that jump out at me.”

“Character development and description are what make a
good story to me,” he continued. “When I read a book or story, the character
must jump out at me and I can see them visually and in word. Perhaps my years
as an actor strengthen my characterizations.”

Two windows allow soft light into his working office with
pictures of family, friends, movie stills and posters dominating the walls. It
is a comfortable place of personal history with heavy laden bookcases where
instruments of his craft dominate the shelves. One of the family dogs, Chico,
sleeps soundly at the door staying close by just in case he is needed to lend a
paw or to offer an ear to be scratched.

Not one to rest on his laurels, Cord is already thinking
of his next book he has tentatively called “Conversations with Man,” a
collection of interviews from men who offer insights into their thoughts on
women.

Cord’s wife Susannah Cord has also urged him to start his
autobiography and he is pondering that possibility.

“I have been so blessed in my life and so grateful for
everything that has come my way,” Cord continued. “I think that to be successful
in anything you have to believe in yourself and your talent. When you have
finished what you have set out to do, validation by those who respectyou is so sweet.”

In search of film locations for “Return of the Seven”. After
the film’s opening credits play over the peaceful Mexican village, we see a
small boy pulling a horse at a water wheel while many of the village women wash
clothes below.

William West Anderson was born on September 19, 1928 in
Walla Walla, Washington. At 14 Adam attended Lakeside School, then went on to
Whitman College, where he got a degree in literature and psychology. During his
last year of college he also married 17-year-old Billie Lou Yeager.

Adam got a job as a DJ at a local radio station, and
enrolled at Stanford for post-grad courses. Drafted into the army, he spent the
next 2 years starting military TV stations. Afterwards, Adam and his wife
toured Europe, visiting Germany, Switzerland and Italy's Isle of Capri. When
the money ran out, he joined a childhood and college buddy, Carl Hebenstreit,
who was starring in the kiddie program "The Kini Popo Show" in
Hawaii. Adam would eventually replace Carl but not the other star, Peaches the
Chimp. In 1956 he was divorced and married Ngatokoruaimatauaia Frisbie. They
had a daughter, Jonelle, in 1957 and a son, Hunter, in 1958. In 1959 Adam came

roles, as he appeared in a few westerns.

in his signature role as Batman, in the wildly popular ABC-TV series
"Batman" (1966). The series, which lasted three seasons, made him not
just nationally but internationally famous. The movie version, Batman (1966),
earned Adam the "Most Promising New Star" award in 1967. The downside
was that the "Batman" fame was partly responsible for ruining his
marriage, and he would be typecast and almost unemployable for a while after
the series ended.

In 1972 he met and married Marcelle Tagand Lear, and
picked up two stepchildren, Moya and Jill. In addition, they had two children
of their own: Nina West in 1976 and Perrin in 1979. You can't keep a good actor
down -- Adam's career took off again, and he has been in about 50 projects
since then: movies, TV-movies and sometimes doing voices in TV series. Adam wrote
his autobiography "Back to the Batcave" in 1994. One of his most
prized possessions is a drawing of Batman by Bob Kane with the inscription
"To my buddy, Adam, who breathed life into my pen and ink creation".

West appeared in one Euro-western: “The Relentless Four”
(1965). Today we celebrate Adam West’s 85th birthday.
